Mother 和 mom的区别
mother还是书面语，对应中文的“母亲”。
用在口语中，就有些生疏刻意啦~
另外，mother强调血缘关系，
和把孩子生下来这个过程，
而不带感情色彩，不强调养育责任。
这样来说，就不难理解“代孕妈妈”
的英文是：surrogate mother 了。
例：
The singer's youngest son was born
to a surrogate mother.
这位歌手的小儿子是一个代孕妈妈所生。
此外，Mother还有引申的用法：
①作形容词，表“母亲的，出生地的”
“祖国”=motherland，就是这层含义~
②作动词，表“养育，照顾”
例：
Colleen had dreamed of mothering
a large family.
科琳曾经梦想过要养育一大群孩子。
2、Mom应该怎么用？
同样是指“妈妈”，
mom和mother的用法正好相反~
mom更口语化，更亲密；
它强调责任与陪伴、
指照顾孩子成长的妈妈，而与血缘无关，
看下面的句子，你细品~
例：
I’m her mother, not her mom.
我虽然生了她，却没有养育她。
